FOR MEN | Company Story

This Orange County men’s salon originally opened in September 2004 as metro FOR MEN in Irvine, California. Krista Martin, Master Men’s Hairstylist, independently owns and operates this men’s full-service salon and spa. This women-owned small business is the only upscale men’s salon and spa in Orange County, CA. It is a male-exclusive, masculine grooming environment where men get all hair, nail, skin, and body care treatments in a country club atmosphere.

Krista has more than 35 years of stylist and salon ownership experience. Most consider her a men’s grooming expert and salon operations guru. She launched m by FOR MEN, an exclusive line of men’s haircare products in 2009 during the Great Recession. With the launch of m by FOR MEN, salon clients consistently enjoy products made with their unique needs in mind. Krista’s journey of creating a salon where men can feel at home has not stopped. In 2018, metro FOR MEN moved to Lake Forest and became FOR MEN Salon | Spa. This move enabled Krista to focus on clients desiring an exclusive environment while adding premier spa services.  

“I am a committed men’s salon owner and am committed to our client’s experience with quality products and services.” — Krista
